The best preparation for your child’s first dental visit to our office in Carlsbad is maintaining a positive attitude. Children pick up on adults’ apprehensions and if you make negative comments about trips to the dentist, you can be sure that your child will fear an unpleasant experience and act accordingly. Show your child pictures of the office and staff on the website. Let your child know that it’s important to keep his teeth and gums healthy and that Dr. Penman will help him do that. Remember that your child’s dentist is trained to handle fears and anxiety, and our staff excels at putting your children at ease during treatment.
